The largest donation of 2013 came from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, who announced in December that they had given 18 million shares of Facebook stock to the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.

Read about the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s report here, and hope some trickles down!
